CAMPAIGNERS will gather in an overnight occupation outside City Hall in London to demand that all mayoral candidates commit to investing in social homes as the only real solution to the housing crisis.

Co-ordinated by Housing Rebellion, a direct action group, the protest hits out at all main political parties for only promising to promote more private house building.

The campaigners say this will amount to more polluting and unaffordable “luxury” flats that only benefit corporate investors and developers.
